Take a look in the mirror
Aug. 26th, 2013 09:19 am"Those of you in the media and politics who fed this hysteria need to look at what you helped create. Because you have unleashed a monster."
—Bob Filner, resigning as mayor of San Diego in the wake of 18 allegations of sexual harassment
This guy is pond scum. Not only is he accused of sexually harassing at least 18 women, he also sexually harassed women military veterans WHO WERE ALREADY VICTIMS of sexual harassment and sexual violence. Earlier this month he entered a two-week treatment program for sexual harassers, which struck me as probably as effective as Pray The Gay Away for people like Bob here, then he left a week early to continue 'on an out-patient basis'. He was required to attend a City of San Diego sexual harassment workshop when he started, then, with a wave of his Mayoral pen, canceled the workshop.
Though I read it yesterday, I couldn't find an online transcript of Bob's resignation speech. He was full of himself. He was the first Democratic mayor in 20 years, and blames the Republican machine for his downfall. At first, my wife thought that maybe he had a brain tumor that went undiagnosed, and that was responsible for his behavior, but it's come out that he's been slime for a very long time.
This will be the end of Bob's political career, and hopefully he won't be in the news anymore, except for the criminal charges against him that are being investigated along with the probable civil suits, though he's hoping that his resignation, and a deal he's cut with the City, will avoid some of the civil side.
